Which statement least accurately describes tile characteristics?

High absorption tiles are less likely to be damaged during freezing thaw cycles.
Concrete tiles are durable and low maintenance.
Some tile roofs can last over 100 years.
Proper installation is crucial for tile longevity.

The correct answer is: High absorption tiles are less likely to be damaged during freezing thaw cycles.

High absorption tiles are actually more susceptible to damage during freeze-thaw cycles. This is because tiles with higher absorption can trap moisture, and when this moisture freezes, it expands and can lead to cracking or other forms of damage. In contrast, low absorption tiles are more stable in varying temperatures because they do not retain as much moisture, making them better suited for climates that experience freezing conditions. The other statements are accurate in their descriptions: concrete tiles are indeed known for their durability and low maintenance requirements; some tile roofs, particularly those made from high-quality materials, can last over a century; and the proper installation of tile roofs is essential to ensure their durability and longevity, as any weaknesses in installation can compromise the roof's performance and lifespan.
